EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Pyre with Persian priests" takes us back in time to the ancient world of Zoroastrianism. Created by Giulio Ferrario and beautifully illustrated by Angelo Biasioli, this coloured engraving captures a moment of profound piety and religious devotion. In the image, we see a group of Persian priests gathered around a sacred pyre, their faces hidden beneath hooded robes. The atmosphere is filled with reverence as they engage in the worship of fire - an essential element in Zoroastrian rituals symbolizing purity and divine presence. The illustration not only showcases the ancient customs and costumes but also highlights the dualistic nature of Zoroastrianism. This religion, founded by the prophet Zoroaster (Zarathustra), emphasizes the eternal struggle between good and evil forces. As we delve into this mesmerizing scene, we are transported to Persia (modern-day Iran) where followers known as Parsees continue to practice this age-old faith today. Their unwavering commitment to preserving these traditions is evident in every detail captured within this engraving. Through its intricate details and vibrant colors, this print serves as a powerful reminder of humanity's enduring quest for spiritual connection throughout history. It invites us to explore not only different cultures but also our own beliefs while appreciating both ancient wisdom and modern interpretations.
